Education and Truth

Food for Thought:
This past Sunday, a guest speaker in our Sunday School class, stated that according to the Independent School District 85% of high school graduates in Dallas metroplex lack the educational skills to enter college. Yet, some of the schools are extraordinary.

Considering that God is Truth, in denying God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit, one denies Truth. While I understand that church and school are two separate places, why do schools adamantly deny Truth? Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Love and Truth mandate interrelating.

What value does education possess, that denies the foundation of Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and Truth?

God created everything! Everything includes everything—chemistry, physics, biology, math, algebra, calculus, differential equations, engineering, languages, grammar, poetry, reading, writing, electricity, etc., etc. He serves as the foundation of all creation, all that exists.

The key to improved education—Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and Truth—begins with a relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. This relationship results in loving God, and consequently others and self. This relationship introduces students of all ages to the foundation of Creation, thus the foundation of meaningful education and application.

Conclusion: America does not have an Education problem, rather a Spiritual problem. Yet, the Department of Education denies Truth. Once before speaking at a Public School, the Superintendent—a friend from church—politely warned me to avoid mentioning God in my presentation. That week, he received warnings against the mention of God's name in School.

Many wonderful teachers exist who are in relation with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I applaud their persistence, diligence and love in working with our nation's youth. I pray the Godly teachers will continue teaching, exposing the Light of Christ, who is Truth, to those living in spiritual darkness.

As Christian citizens, let's expose God's Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Love and Truth to the world with the fruit of the Spirit.
    "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." (Galatians 5:22–23, NASB95)
 
In so doing, our education and economy will follow in an upward trend. Because, these leads to actions in response to God's love based on Truth.

 
See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
